My Sophomore Year

well.. my sophomore year has been ok... i have not learned that much yet because we have not really been taught anything new. friday night games are fun though, because im a band geek. it kind of sucks because there are so many people in this school that i cant stand.. but thats just me. so, basically its been tedious and boring with some good stuff and bad stuff thrown in there.
